Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the upcoming expiration of his Department’s contract with Capita for the administration of the Equitable Life Payments Scheme, if he will confirm that future awardees of the contract will be subject to the same contractual requirement to hold, in a searchable format, the personal, bank account and payment data for all those non-WPA (With Profits Annuitants) Equitable Life policyholders who have already received a payment from that scheme.

I refer the Honourable Member to the answer I gave to PQ UIN67299 on 9^th November.
